Half Term Bonanza

Here's a quick review of the activities that happened during the October half term week:

Pumpkin Cupcakes - A brilliant treat in autumn

Children cooked pumpkin cupcakes. We grew an number of pumpkins this year in our garden and found a good recipe that used then in cake based treats.

 Sticky Tape webs

.

Children coloured and cut out animals, rockets, birds and people and attached them to the

suspended webs in our play hut

Festival of Lights, Diwali Wednesday 26th October 2011

 

Children made these fantastic festival lights. They were made from cardboard tubes, decorations, beads and glitter. The light inside was a small torch based candle.

 Woodwork

A small group of children helped to saw down tree trucks in preparation for an open fire outside.

...more den building!

Loose parts building - lots of tropical trees were made by the children

FREAKY FRIDAY!

Here's one of the monster pumpkins we grew at the playground! It was picked early by mistake as a number of children thought it was a ball in the long grass! It still had 12 weeks to grow, imagine how big it would have got.

Boo!

Thriller!
